Goodbye Gigahertz?
 Count Us Out Dept: Maybe it's just us, but what is wrong with clock speed? Intel has been trying to abolish it for years, and yet it just announced another confusing numerical scheme. What gives?
Technology Review put it best: ""Initially at least, consumers might have a harder time deciphering the processor names than they did comparing clock speeds. Intel warns explicitly against using the numbers, which will be phased in between May and July, to compare processors in different families. '710 is not better than 510 simply because 7 is greater than 5,' a company statement says. But over time, Intel says, “these processor numbers will allow end customers to intelligently and accurately distinguish among individual processors by taking into account a broader set of features that contribute to the overall user experience.'"
